Drawing Room Armchair

A standard upholstered armchair upholstered in floral-patterned fabric, positioned near the drawing room’s curtained windows. Dust motes drift through the stale air as Ace slumps into its cushions, her exhaustion visible in the way she presses her forehead against the backrest. The Doctor perches on its edge during questioning, his weight causing the springs to creak slightly. The chair’s wooden armrests bear faint scuffs from repeated use.

The chair’s form and placement frame their interaction, enabling detachment while Gwendoline’s panic unfolds nearby as background strangeness.

Before: upholstered in floral-patterned fabric, creaking slightly under motion, positioned near the windows
After: unchanged in position, though Ace’s reading posture may shift marginally—restored to stillness as the room resets after Gwendoline’s exit
